Look at all these people lying around
Look at all these people being scraped right off the ground
Because of too many broken homes
Too many cardboard boxes
Too many people who just can't survive hard losses
Well Americans
Don't belong in tins
Let's learn to help ourselves
Before we help the foreign
Wounded decay
Shout out "Dismay!"
Can you hear their voices yelling out "Mayday!"?
We're sending money overseas
Look out your window our nation's the one that needs
Because there's not enough income
There's too much poverty
Why must we lose more lives before our eyes will see?
We'll leave it alone hope it goes away
It's hard to ignore life when you live it every day
I'd like to see
I'd like to say
I'd like to hear that "Help is on the way"
Here today
Where tomorrow?
Death in the shadows
Affects us all
Too many bodies lie in the street
Too many hungry mouths that have the right to feed
Too many bodies lie in the street
Too many hungry mouths that have the right to feed
Okay, that's it...
Go!
Look at all these people lying around
Look at all these people being scraped right off the ground
Because of too many broken homes
Too many cardboard boxes
Too many people who just can't survive hard losses
We'll leave it alone
Hope it goes away
It's hard to ignore life when you're living it every day
I'd like to see
I'd like to say
I'd like to hear that "Help is on the way"
Here today
Where tomorrow?
Death in the shadows
Affects us all
Here today
Where tomorrow?
Death in the shadows
Affects us all
